Export ChatGPT to Self-Contained HTML on iPhone
Turn any ChatGPT conversation into a standalone .html file that opens in any browser, works fully offline, and embeds images as base64 data - no external dependencies.
Self-contained
No external files needed
A self-contained webpage that opens anywhere, offline
An HTML export of a ChatGPT conversation produces a .html file - a webpage that opens in any browser, on any device, without an internet connection. Every visual element is preserved: syntax-highlighted code blocks, formatted tables, images embedded as base64 data, styled headings, and the full conversation layout.
Opens in any browser
Safari, Chrome, Firefox - any browser on any device. No app required to view the file once it's exported.
Images embedded
All images are encoded as base64 data URIs inside the file itself. Move the file anywhere - images always display.
Code syntax highlighting
Code blocks include the language class used by highlight.js and Prism. Drop the file into a site and syntax highlighting works automatically.
HTML vs PDF vs Markdown
Choose the right format for your workflow.
HTML
- View in any browser, offline
- Images embedded as base64
- Hostable on any web server
- Richest visual rendering
- Print-ready, fixed page layout
- Ideal for formal sharing and filing
- Universally viewable
- Not browser-embeddable
Markdown
- Integrates with Obsidian, Notion
- Plain text, editable
- Great for knowledge tools
- Needs a renderer to look styled

Download on the App StoreHow to Export ChatGPT to HTML on iPhone
Five steps from conversation to a standalone HTML file ready to open in any browser.
Open the conversation in the ChatGPT iOS app
Navigate to the conversation you want to export as HTML.
Tap the Share icon
Tap the Share icon to open the iOS share sheet.
Select ChatExport
Tap ChatExport. The app fetches the full conversation on-device - no cloud upload, no browser extension.
Choose HTML format
Select HTML from the format options. ChatExport generates a fully self-contained .html file - images are embedded as base64 data, so the file is completely standalone with no external dependencies.
Save or open in browser
Tap Share to save to Files or open directly in Safari. The file opens as a formatted webpage - viewable offline, shareable by email or AirDrop.
Not just a page save - a complete export
ChatExport's HTML output goes further than saving a page in Safari.
Fully self-contained
The HTML file has no external dependencies. Images are embedded as base64 data URIs within the file itself - no broken image links if you move the file, no internet required to view it fully.
Complete conversations
ChatExport retrieves the full conversation data, not just the visible browser DOM. Long conversations export completely - no virtual-scrolling truncation that you'd get from saving the ChatGPT page directly in Safari.
Code block syntax highlighting
Code blocks in the HTML export include the language class used by standard syntax highlighting libraries. If you embed the HTML in a site using highlight.js or Prism, the code renders with full syntax highlighting automatically.
Hostable anywhere
The HTML export is a standard .html file that can be hosted on any web server. Since images are embedded as base64, no separate image files are needed.
